The characterization and correlation between the phenotypic and genotypic resistance of Campylobacter spp. isolates from commercial broilers and native chickens in the south of Thailand

ABSTRACT Chicken is a major reservoir and source of human infections from zoonotic Campylobacter. In southern Thailand, chicken is the most popular meat consumed; however, little is known about the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of Campylobacter spp. in chicken production systems. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of AMR in Campylobacter isolates from commercial broiler and native chicken farms in southern Thailand. A total of 286 Campylobacter isolates (adjusted prevalence: 60.3%, SE ± 0.01) were recovered, of which 268 were identified as Campylobacter jejuni and 18 as Campylobacter coli. The adjusted prevalence of resistance was highest for nalidixic acid (98.6%), followed by ciprofloxacin (97.2%), enrofloxacin (96.4%), tetracycline (74.6%), tylosin (38.3%), and erythromycin (10.6%). Commercial broilers had resistance levels 7–11% higher to quinolones and 35–47% lower to macrolides and tetracycline (all P ≤ 0.025) compared to native chickens. Genotypic resistance analyses revealed high prevalence rates (>86%) for gyrA mutant, efflux pump CmeABC, and point mutation A2075G in the 23S rRNA gene. High homogeneity was observed among isolates within study farms. Commercial broilers exhibited higher homogeneity in AMR patterns than native chickens. The best agreement was observed between tetracycline resistance and tet(O) genes (Kappa: k = 0.811, P < 0.001), while the fair agreement was found for quinolone resistance and gyrA mutant genes (k = 0.260–0.271, P < 0.001). No association was detected between macrolide resistance and point mutations in the 23S rRNA gene. These findings fill knowledge gaps on AMR in Campylobacter in Thailand, emphasizing the need for targeted AMR mitigation strategies in both commercial broilers and native chickens. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS High Campylobacter prevalence in chickens; C. jejuni more prevalent than C. coli. Susceptibility to macrolides but resistance to quinolones/tetracyclines in isolates. Homogeneous resistance patterns within farms; higher in broilers than in native birds. Partial association between phenotypic and genotypic resistance among isolates.

Analysis of Biosecurity Application in Broiler Chicken Farms in North Sumatra

Biosecurity is very important in broiler chicken farming. The right biosecurity application will create optimal performance. This research was conducted in three districts of North Sumatra province, namely Deli Serdang, Serdang Bedagai and Simalungun with purposive sampling methods. Number of samples used by 104 respondents. This research was conducted to find out the level of application of biosecurity and health conditions in the maintenance of modern broiler chickens. The data used in the study used primary data obtained from filling out questionnaires and discussions with farmers. The parameters used use the Likert scale with integers of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 for each answer. There are three categories in the application of biosecurity, namely pre of entry, point of entry and post of entry. Disease conditions that often appear during the maintenance of broiler chickens related to the performance obtained by respondents. The results of the statistical analysis illustrate that the level of application of pre-entry biosecurity (P&lt;0.05) describes 67% of the significant results of 6 questions, the point of entry (P&lt;0.05) shows 100% insignificant results from 6 questions and post of entry (P&lt;0.05) shows 43% significant results from 7 questions on closed house and open house systems. The results of data obtained from cases of diseases that are often a problem in broiler chickens more cases of enteritis (digestive) disease by 27.9% and CRD by 25% of the total respondents.

Effects of ginger extract and/or propolis extract on immune system parameters of vaccinated broilers

Newcastle disease (ND), avian influenza (AI, H5N8), and infectious bronchitis (IB) are important diseases in the poultry industry and cause significant losses. Vaccination isthe most practical method for controlling infectious diseases. To reduce vaccination costs and several disorders in poultry farms, using herbal water supplements for immunomodulation with vaccination is critical to improving or preventing some conditions in the poultry industry. However, drinking water supplementation of ginger extract (GE)/propolis extract (PE) alone/in combination may increase broilers' humoral and cellular immunity due to the immunomodulatory effects of ginger and propolis. This protocol aimed to see how GE/PE alone or in combination improved the immunity, immune organ gene expression, and histology of the immune organs of broilers for 35 d after vaccination against NDV, H5N8, IBV, and IBDV. The chicks were dispensed into 5 groups according to GE and/or PE with vaccination. The control group was offered normal drinking water without any supplements or vaccinations. The GE group was supplemented with ginger extract (1 mL/L drinking water) in the drinking water before and after vaccination for 2 and 3 d, respectively. The GE+PE group was supplemented with GE (0.5 mL/L drinking water) and PE (0.5 mL/L drinking water) in the drinking water before and after vaccination for 2 and 3 d, respectively. The PE group was supplemented with propolis extract (1 mL/L drinking water) in the drinking water before and after vaccination for 2 and 3 d, respectively. The fifth group was the vaccinated untreated group. This experiment showed the immunomodulatory properties of GE and/or PE against 3 common diseases, NDV, AI, and IB, in broiler chicken farms for 35 d applied to a vaccination program. Thus, ginger extract and propolis extract supplementation in drinking water increased antibody titer, INF, IL10, and IL2 and TLR3 gene expression in the bursa of Fabricius, thymus, and spleen, respectively, as well as cellular immunity as indicated by increased CD3, CD4, and CD8 in the bursa of Fabricius, thymus, and spleen, respectively, with normal lymphocytes in the medulla of the bursa, thymus, and spleen. In conclusion, propolis extracts alone or with GE improved all of the metrics mentioned above without harming the histology of the immune organs.

Comparative Analysis of Contract Farming Effect on Technical Efficiency of Broiler Chicken Farms in Indonesia

The development of broiler chicken farms in Indonesia has taken two forms, namely non-contract and contract farming. This study aimed to compare the technical efficiency levels of production in these two types of farming in Banten Province, Indonesia. Data were collected randomly from 180 broiler chicken farmers, consisting of 103 non-contract and 77 contract farmers. The study used the stochastic frontier production function to meet its objectives. The results showed that non-contract broiler chicken farmers were less efficient in their production than those under contract. The mean technical efficiency of the production factor for non-contract broiler chicken farmers was 0.689, ranging from 0.339 to 0.996. On the contrary, broiler chicken farmers under contract had a higher mean efficiency value of 0.893, ranging from 0.638 to 0.988. Moreover, the type of input supplier had a significant positive effect on technical inefficiency in non-contract farms. Non-contract farmers who purchased their production needs from a poultry shop showed higher technical efficiency compared to those who used distributors. This research sheds light on the efficiency of broiler chicken farms, both non-contract and contract, enabling all stakeholders, including the government, to devise appropriate policies for the development of broiler chicken farming. The study provided valuable insights into the technical efficiency levels of broiler chicken farming in Indonesia, which can help farmers identify areas that need improvement and develop strategies to increase productivity and profitability.

Factors Affecting Small-Scale Broiler Chicken Farm Profitability and Challenges Faced by Farmers in Egyptian Rural

This study was conducted in Al-Sharkia and El-Fayoum provinces, Egypt, and aimed to determine factors affecting small-scale broiler chicken farm profitability and challenges faced by broiler farmers in Egyptian rural. A stratified random sampling technique was applied to collect data from 200 individual small-scale broiler farmers randomly selected in two provinces, 100 from each province. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with questionnaires and direct observation at the farm level. The log-linear regression model form of a flexible Cobb-Douglas production function was used to analyze factors affecting the profitability of small-scale broiler chicken farms. The results indicated that women (60%) were the majority of owned flocks. The average respondent farmer’s age was 41.98 years old. The majority of the small-scale broiler performance was low and medium performance. The coefficients of the value of experience, gender, education, labor type, extension, training, veterinary, credit, flock size, management interventions, marketing information, and the market price of live chickens were positive influences, while farmer age, feed cost, home consumption, and mortality rate negatively influence the broiler profitability. The major challenges faced by small-scale broiler producers to increase their profitability are poor feed quality and access to marketing, veterinary services and credit. Therefore, efficient feed resources, marketing and veterinary services should be implemented to support small-scale broiler producers.

Identification of Antibiotic Resistance Pattern and Antibiotic Resistance Gene of Staphylococcus aureus from Broiler Chicken Farm in Sukabumi and Cianjur Regency, West Java Province, Indonesia

Broiler chicken is one of the most common forms of protein in Indonesia. Sukabumi and Cianjur are two of the province of West Java’s top producers of broiler chickens. Farmers nonetheless use antibiotics for prevention, treatment, and growth enhancement. The objective of this investigation is to detect antibiotic resistance and the related resistance gene. The cloacal swab samples were determined to be Staphylococcus aureus by biochemical and molecular assays. Against the positive S. aureus strains, the antibiotics tetracycline, ampicillin, gentamicin, nalidixic acid, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, and chloramphenicol were evaluated. The colony’s obvious inhibitory zone was evaluated in accordance with the 2018 Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute recommendations (CLSI 2018). After extracting the DNA from resistant strains, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was employed to identify the resistance gene. The total number of S. aureus isolates from both regions was 26, with 14 coming from Sukabumi and 12 from Cianjur. The vast majority were resistant to the vast majority of antibiotics used in broiler farms including several medicines. These samples carried the genes blaTEM, gyrA, tetA, and ermB for antibiotic resistance.

Serological survey of avian metapneumovirus in vaccinated and unvaccinated broiler chickens in Hong Kong.

In chickens, avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) causes the swollen head syndrome, a respiratory disease often associated with a reduction in egg production. The virus' epidemiology in East and Southeast Asia is poorly understood. An aMPV serological survey was conducted on broiler chicken farms of Hong Kong SAR to assess the seroprevalence of aMPV in unvaccinated batches and the serological status of vaccinated batches. Blood samples were collected from 53-93-day-old chickens in 24 chicken farms of Hong Kong SAR and sera were tested for aMPV antibodies by ELISA. Seroprevalence in aMPV unvaccinated birds was 80.6% (95% confidence interval (CI): 78.9-82.2) with a high variation between batches. Batch-level seroprevalence was not significantly different between birds hatched during the rainy season (74.3%, 95% CI: 64.0-84.5) and the ones hatched during the dry season (88.7%, 95% CI: 80.1-97.3, p = 0.5). The high seroprevalence and high antibody titers that are reported in this study indicate repeated exposure of broiler chickens to aMPV in Hong Kong SAR poultry farms. Based on these results, we recommend improving the surveillance of respiratory pathogens and applying appropriate prophylactic measures against aMPV such as vaccination.

Molecular Investigation of Eimeria Species in Broiler Farms in the Province of Vojvodina, Serbia.

Coccidiosis is a significant poultry disease caused by the Eimeria species. This study aims to determine the prevalence of Eimeria spp. on broiler farms in Vojvodina, along with the identification of parasite species, and assess the implemented biosecurity measures. The study was conducted on 100 broiler chicken farms (28 small-sized; 34 medium-sized; 38 large-sized farms) from June 2018 to December 2021. One pooled sample of faeces was collected from three to six-week-old chickens from each farm, and assessment of biosecurity measures was carried out using a questionnaire. Using the PCR method, DNA of Eimeria was found in 59 samples (59%), while 41 samples (41%) were negative. Four species of Eimeria were identified, and their prevalence was the following: E. acervulina (37%), E. maxima (17%), E. mitis (25%) and E. tenella (48%). A significant difference (p < 0.05) was established in the number of oocysts in flocks from small-sized farms compared to medium-sized farms. It was found that regular implementation of disinfection, disinsection and deratisation measures, as well as all the biosecurity measures, can significantly reduce the occurrence of coccidiosis. These results will help to develop better strategies for the control and prevention of coccidiosis on farms.

The CSR program aims to improve the company's good name, maintain good relations between the company and stakeholders, help with problems in the surrounding environment, and improve community welfare. PT. Sariwiguna Binasentosa is a tin smelting, processing, and marketing company spread across several areas in Bangka Belitung Islands, one of which is in Air Bara Village. This type of CSR program conducts in Sampik backwoods, Air Bara Village. It is through community empowerment for broiler chicken farming. The selection of program activity type is where broiler chickens are economical livestock compared to other livestock. In addition, the growth is fast, and meat production is relatively short is 5-7 weeks. However, there are some drawbacks of this broiler cultivation or livestock, such that they are susceptible to disease, easily stressed, and selling prices are relatively fluctuating. The success of broiler farming is seeable from various aspects, including feed, body weight, etc. The results of cultivating twice the period showed a decrease in the mortality rate of chickens by 2.17%. In the first period, the death rate was 7.77% (39 of the 502-population died). While in the second period, the mortality rate was 5.60% (28 of the 500 population). The group succeeded in reducing the death rate of chickens by controlling the causal factors

Isolation and Characterization of Fowl Adenoviruses Associated with Hydro-pericardium Syndrome from Broiler Chickens in Egypt

One of the most prominent viral diseases affecting the poultry industry is hydropericardium syndrome caused by fowl adenoviruses. Hydropericardium syndrome has recently led to significant economic losses in the Egyptian poultry sector. Many outbreaks of hydropericardium syndrome have been documented across the country in the last few years. This research examined the epidemiology and molecular characterization of fowl adenoviruses in broiler chickens in Egypt. Samples were taken from 26 outbreaks of commercial broiler chicken farms in the Beheira and Menofia governorates, Egypt, from January 2021 to March 2022. Adenoviruses genomes were detected in cloacal swabs of 10 flocks using polymerase chain reaction. Clinically, infected broiler chickens (Cobb, Ross, Indian River, Modified-Avian, and Arbor Acres) showed depression, ruffled feathers, retarded growth, and ascites, with mortality rates of 10-28%. The most common postmortem lesions were hydropericardium, yellowish enlarged liver with ecchymotic hemorrhages, pancreatitis, and enteritis. Histopathologically, intranuclear inclusion bodies, commonly basophilic type, were scattered in the hepatocyte, proventriculus, duodenum, kidney, pancreas, and spleen. In addition, depletion of lymphocytes in the bursa of Fabricius and the thymus was observed. Seven samples were selected for gene sequencing of the loop 1 region of the hexon gene. The sequence analysis revealed that all samples were identical and similar to fowl adenoviruses species D serotype 2/11, suggesting that this serotype was the predominant fowl adenoviruses circulating in the study location in the last two years. Further studies are required to address the pathogenicity of isolated fowl adenoviruses and evaluate the vaccine used to control fowl adenoviruses in Egypt.

Molecular detection of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N8 in commercial broiler chicken farms from 2019 to 2022

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is a serious viral infection that causes massive economic losses in poultry. The current study investigated the HPAI virus prevalence in commercial broiler chicken flocks from 2019 to 2022. Organ samples, including trachea, cecal tonsils, spleen, brain, as well as tracheal and cloacal swabs, were harvested from 111 problematic broiler chicken flocks that suffered from variable mortalities accompanied with respiratory signs (103 H5-vaccinated and 8 nonvaccinated flocks) in Egypt during the observation duration. Molecular tools were used to analyze the samples, including real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) and sequence analysis of some PCR positive strains. The results indicated that 24 flocks were positive for HPAI H5N8, representing 21.6%, with 22.3% (23/103) prevalence and 12.5% (1/8) detection in vaccinated and nonvaccinated flocks, respectively, and they were almost detected in the autumn and winter seasons. Phylogenetic evaluation of the hemagglutinin (HA) gene showed that the 6 Egyptian strains were clustered in clade 2.3.4.4b and allocated into 2 groups (I and II). The samples recovered in 2019 were clustered in new subgroup A, and samples recovered in 2020 to 2022 were clustered in new subgroup B with 10 nucleotide mutations (R72S, A83D, T140A). In conclusion, HPAI H5N8 is a serious threat even in vaccinated birds; to control such problems, periodic molecular monitoring with vaccine efficacy evaluation and the use of preventive strategies are recommended.

Genetic diversity and risk factor analysis of drug-resistant Escherichia coli recovered from broiler chicken farms

A total of 38 Escherichia coli isolates were recovered from 120 samples collected from various sources of broiler chicken farms (n = 10 each) in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states. Though the recovered E. coli isolates were found variably resistant to the tested antibiotics, all the tested isolates were susceptible to meropenem. Alarming multi-drug resistance (MDR) was observed (34/38) among the recovered isolates, wherein antibiotic-resistant genes (blaTEM, blaSHV, and tetA) were detected, except for blaCTX-M-9. The heatmap with cluster analysis exhibited that majority of the E. coli isolates recovered from different sources and regions clustered together based on their phenotypic resistance suggesting co-sharing of resistance. However, the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) typing revealed an extremely diverse genotypic profile. Further, a significant statistical association was not observed between hypothesized risk factors and recovered MDR- E. coli isolates from various sources, although a significant statistical association between antibiotic resistance with large flock size, poor biosecurity practices, poor workers’ hygiene, and poor disinfection practices was noticed. Since the study highlighted an alarming level of drug resistance among the recovered E. coli isolates, further in-depth research in similar veins is required to ensure the prudent use of antimicrobials in the poultry sector and the implementation of an antimicrobial surveillance system.
